fandomhigh | Freelance Treasure Hunting, Monday, Period 5, Class #3

The class had been ~~handwavily~~ instructed to report to the Danger ~~Room~~ Shop for today's class. Vala was looking especially smug as she played with the dials on the machine and munched on an apple.

"Hello," she greeted them cheerfully, "and welcome to what I'm sure will be an enlightening afternoon for you. Today we will be dealing with how to obtain your treasure or priceless artifact, once you've located it. As I'm sure you probably already know, in many instances, people who collect priceless and historically important artifacts and works of art tend to have elaborate security systems protecting these items and making it more difficult--but, and this is important, not impossible--for an enterprising individual such as one of you to obtain or liberate them."

"So, in today's class, there will be a number of scenarios programmed into the trust computer imaging system here, and your assignment will be to free it from its unfortunate incarceration. Please be aware that there will be a number of alarm systems and surprises along the way. There is also a table with tools," she gestured towards a number of burglary tools that were nicely arrayed on a table at the side of the room in Vanna White-esque fahion, "should you require them. Also, feel free to ask any questions along the way, and either my charming minion-er, assistant-or myself will answer you as soon as we can."

In your best collapsey manner

Because even Vala goes on for a bit

Fully moddable, of course

While you're waiting for your turn

As soon as he pings in

Several scenarios coming up. You don't have to do them all, but you can if you want.

For those of you who don't have the time or the inclination or have RL to do

Removal of treasure from a sealed glass enclosure

Sitting on a platform in the middle of the room. Tempting, no?

A painting, hanging on the wall. In a museum.

She's writing up some notes, so she'll be around.

H'okay.

So, any questions?

1. Yes, I'm stealing blatantly from canon.

2. There are surprises and booby traps coming, so try to plan accordingly, with both tools and break-in technique. Vala will be assessing your beginning skills, and will be there to coax you along and offer suggestions if you get stuck. Dean may also ping in if he's so inclined.

Turtle Wexler

Turtle's notes-to-sketches ratio was surprisingly even today.

John Sheppard

John drew lots of airplanes in his notebook. There really were no notes to speak of.

Dean still had his arm in a sling but he was there.

Dean Winchester

While waiting, Turtle's got one earplug in, listening to the market report idly.

Turtle...realized she didn't really know how to use many burglary tools. The one time she'd broken in anywhere, it wasn't difficult and it certainly wasn't to steal anything. So she took a small set of tool and hoped the inspiration on how to use them would strike when needed.

Tempting, yes, but oh-so-suspicious. Turtle stood at the entrance of the room, glancing around to get a good feel for it, tentatively stepping forward and already wincing as though expecting some trap to spring.

It reminded her way too much of some of the movies her dad was always watching.

Turtle might be surprised when no trap sprung from her step forward.

Surprised, but relieved. "Whew," she breathed out, and almost went to lean against a wall to let her heart slow down to a normal pace, but then pulled her hand away before it touched. Could never be too careful. She started tip-toeing toward the platform; her eyes darted upwards a lot to check for, like, ninjas and stuff.

There were no ninjas, but there were a number of large, hairy mouse spiders (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.anoble.com.au/Spiders/blackhousespider150.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.anoble.com.au/Spiders/SpiderID.htm&h=165&w=150&sz=7&hl=en&start=13&sig2=tOe8EfN3hWadoCXjNEcX9w&um=1&tbnid=gWcscxToAWu7lM:&tbnh=99&tbnw=90&ei=yFNaRtKNCIOihgTk1JjgBQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dspider%2Bpictures%2Bpoisonous%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG) swarming down the walls and across the floor towards Turtle.

Turtle's eyes went wide. Not good, not good, not good! She drew in a deep breath and fought back the urge to hold back a scream. Once she started moving, though, the scream came out as her arms flailed while she ran toward the platform. Get the statue and flee! That seemed a pretty good tactic right now, and Turtle rushed forward to execute it...STAT!
